~dan's now page

On this page you'll find what I'm going to do in the forseeable future here on the envs.net pubnix.

My Shell Account

I'm steadily setting up my shell account at dan@envs.net. I switched from byobu to tmux, which starts a new session if none is present and otherwise connects to the existing one if one is present, directly over ssh.

I switched my shell to ZSH from bash and now I'm continuously configuring everything to my needs. I already made NeoVim my default $EDITOR, which was a bit tricky since it had some glitches when running with a proper set $TERM variable. I'm still in the process of creating workarounds, but it's already in a very usable state.

I'm tinkering with the provided environment and am constantly changing, adding and swapping features and apps, and play around with all those provided cli gadgets and gizmos.

My Gopher Hole

My Gopher Hole is also already set up and will be under construction for a very long time. I mostly use my Gopher phlog to document my progress on the envs.net tilde. I try to regularly post updates and all other things concerning my pubnix membership.

My Web Site

At the moment I'm writing my homepage directly in HTML/PHP from the template. I like having the same style as most of the other users and my pages are all based on the CSS of the community main site.

I'm still not fully sure what pages I'll put on here, but it will be mostly static content, which I edit from time to time to make adjustments. I won't set up a blog or similar, because I'll make all my regular posts on my Gopher phlog.

I've also installed the Single File PHP Gallery for my photo and image collections. It was very easy to set up and also supports multiple collections in subfolders. It seems a very good solution and fits perfectly in a minimal setup environment, although it makes a little use of JS. But I'll collect pictures constantly there over time.

My Gemini Page

My Gemini page is just one informational page and I think I won't create another big Gemini site, because I already have a relatively big Gemini site at redterminal.org. So it'll probably stay a very small site with only a few pages unless it stays one single page. So not much work on that end.

My Finger Timeline

I'm using my '~/.plan' file (which is served over '$ finger dan@envs.net | less' over the commandline for example) to create a continuous timeline and changelog, with small notes about what I'm doing. It's still relatively small for two weeks of work, but I believe it will grow very big over time. So keep that in mind. But it's in reverse chronological order, so the newest changes are at the top. There you can follow my progress in detail and I planned to keep it updated nearly daily, at least in this early stage when there's still a lot to do.

A lot of fun

So I'm having a lot of fun work to do in the mid term. But once I've left the newbie state, I think there are more projects to come. I can only say I don't regret having signed up to envs.net and I really enjoy using this multiuser environment.

So that's what I'm going to do in the midterm. I hope everybody is having fun, an that's it for now. Best wishes to all of you,
